     I. Course Description

            A continuation of chem II and a study of Carbanions compounds, their preparations, structures, nomenclature, properties, and reactions. Lectures in Chem III will generally

             follow the order of topics in   Morrison & Boyd ( chap.: 21,22,23,24,25,26,27,and 30),  or

                                                              McMurry (chap.: 17, 19.14,22,23,24, and 28) , or

                                                              EL-Fellah (chap.:

             It is likely that we will cover material in Chapters 21-27 and Chapter 30,  and possibly  selected additional material. Topics include: aldol condensation, Claisen condensation, Wittig 

             reaction, malonic esters and acetoacetic ester, phenols, Aryl halides, alpha, beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, The Michael  addition, The Diels-Alder reaction and amines.

Chemical bonds, octet rule, ionic and covalent bonds.Predict the outcome for chemical reactions. Electronegativity. the functional groups in organic chemistry and explain their significance.. Physical and chemical properties of some organic compounds.

 

·   A continuation of chem II and a study of Carbanions compounds,their preparations, structures, properties, and reactions.        

 

·      General principles of Carbanions chemistry. General structure. The purpose of this study was to computationally find carbanions that can undergo [1 ... The second goal was to rank the migratory ability in anionic ....Alpha, Beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds

 

 

·     Reactions at the α-Carbon, Mechanism of Electrophilic α-Substitution, The Aldol Reaction, Dehydration of Aldol Products, Mixed Aldol Condensations,

 

 

·      Phenols are a class of chemical compounds consisting of a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to an aromatic hydrocarbon group. -OH group is the functional group. Thus the chemical properties of alcohols generally involve the reactions of -OH group. ..Preparation of phenols. Properties of phenols. Reactions of phenols

IV. Course Policies

Attendance policy

A student who misses class for two consecutive weeks without contacting the instructor or who violates the instructor’s stated attendance policy will be administratively with-drawn from the course .Please be advised that instructors also may have a more specific class policy. change at the instructor’s discretion. The expected outcomes for the course will be assessed by various techniques which may include in class assignments, group discussions, class participation, group work, quizzes, exams, written reports, and   a  comprehensive final examination.

Grading:

V. Classroom Behaviour

Students whose behaviour disrupts the classroom will be subject to disciplinary sanctions. The instructor has primary responsibility

for control over classroom behaviour and maintenance of academic integrity. He/she can order temporary removal or exclusion from the classroom of any student engaged in disruptive conduct or in conduct which violates the general rules and regulations of the College. Disruptive behaviour in the classroom may be defined as, but is not limited to, behaviour that obstructs or disrupts the learning environment (e.g., offensive language, harassment of students and professors, repeated outbursts from a student which disrupt the flow of instruction or prevent concentration on the subject taught, failure to cooperate in maintaining classroom decorum, etc.), the continued use of any electronic or other noise or light emitting device which disturbs others (e.g., disturbing noises from beepers,cell phones, palm pilots, lap-top computers, games, etc.).

NOTE: This syllabus is meant simply as a guide and overview of the course, the topics, the objectives, the general assessments, and some standard college policies. Some items are subject to change or revision  at the instructor’s discretion. Each instructor will further clarify their criteria for grading, classroom procedures, attendance, exams and dates, etc.

lecture material, suggestions on how to study and how to take exams, and other chemistry related www  pages.

Homework: The most important factor for learning the material and for success on examinations in this course is working (and reworking) problems. Consequently you will be assigned problems to work in each chapter of text books that we cover.  Homework will be collected;  in order to be able to work the problems you will  need to study (and restudy) the text. If you work the problems before the corresponding  material is covered in  class. When you hand in assignments be sure that your name and chapter number are prominently displayed on the first page and that the pages are stapled together.

Exams:

    Exam #1:       Saturday, May , 1st    2010    from 8:00 to 10:00 AM.

  

   Exam #2: Group B      Saturday, June ,5th   2010    from 8:00 to 10:00 AM.

Class Participation:

In order to participate you need to be here. Consequently, attendance will be taken. If you are absent and provide a good reason, in writing, in timely fashion, your absence will be excused.
